Using a Curriculum Map to Align Assessments

Standards Based Teaching starts with standard based assessments. edifyAssess is a standard based assessment program.

Before starting to create assessments in edifyAssess there needs to be a clear understanding of what standards will be assessed.

To begin this process a good place to start is with a copy of your district curriculum map that will explain what standards will be focused on during each semester/trimester based on the curriculum being taught.  


Below is a copy of a sample curriculum map:
